How can I access these glyphs in context? tex can handle only 256 glyphs per font at once, but pdftex will embed the whole tt only once [handy for chinese with thousands of glyphs] >Most symbols in context are taken from the math fonts.

And which >other symbols of the math font are used in text mode? You can map symbols to any font. A conveniebnt way si to use 'getglyph{fontname}{\char}' as demonstrated in symb-nav.tex and symb-eur.tex. When possible, symbols will adapt themselves to the style (bold or so) and scale.
